Humidity promotes frizz and hair swelling. It does not spare any type of hair. Frizzy, curly, curly, wavy or even straight… all can change their appearance under the harmful effects of this condition. However, adopting good habits helps protect them! Let's talk about it.
The effect of humidity on hair
The level of hydrogen in the air increases in a humid environment. These molecules will bind with hair proteins. This can have various unsightly effects:
- Hair swelling;
- Appearance of frizz;
- Ripple formation.
Even the straightest, straightest hair may be affected. Note that the effects are more marked on hair lacking hydration. In fact, the fibers then absorb more water.
